December 16, 2009

Oh my gosh. This is technically my 3rd time working with yeast. For the purposes of this post, we will not revisit my old high school Chem 101 phobia of yeast.  I just had a great time with this particular recipe.  It was easy enough for me to do, a newbie in the bread baking [...]

Mochi Tsuki…

December 14, 2009

I remember being a little girl barely able to see over the floured table that my mom, her friend [Mrs S], and Mrs S’s sister in law working quickly and efficiently rolling balls of mochi.  I tried to “help” by making a mess of everything I touched [ahhh...some things never change]. Over the years, I [...]

Caramel Chex Mix

December 10, 2009

I have to say one of the easiest and most tasty things I make during the holiday season is Caramel Chex Mix.  When I bring this tasty treat into work, it’s demolished within minutes.  I can sit down and eat this whole batch myself but I don’t because I really need to fill those darn [...]

November 30, 2009

A couple of months ago, I hosted a brunch for a few of my friends from high school [well, technically we've all known each other since elementary school].  One of my friends brought a coffee cake to the brunch.  All of us were slowly eating it because it tasted so darned familiar. “I’ve had this [...]

Suzi’s Cookies & Cream

November 24, 2009

I’m not a big fan of mousses, parfaits, or anything like that.  This week has been insane for me [as it is with many people throughout America] so when I first heard of the office potluck, my first inclination was not to participate. That is, until my friend and colleague, Suzi, from Oklahoma City decided [...]

The Pioneer Woman Book Signing, Los Angeles Edition

November 23, 2009

I didn’t even know about Food, Home, Photog blogger Ree Drummond’s book signing until Saturday night when I saw it tweeted by @WhatsGabyCookin. I had a copy of Ree’s book that just needed to be signed.  The only thing is that I’ve never waited in line for anything other than a Sample Sale. I just [...]
